Hi All, Just reposting my family interests. The first being the family of ALEXANDER SUTHERLAND. He was born February 1756 Golspie and in December 1785 married MARON MCKAY (MACKAY) in Dornoch. Maron died July 1830 at Birichen, Dornoch. They had the following children: David born 1785 Dornoch . James born 1790 Dornoch. John born 1791 Dornoch, Margaret born 1793 Dornoch. John born 1795 Dornoch. Helen born June 1804. (My gg grandmother) Kenneth born 1809. I have not yet been able to verify who their spouses were with the exception of Helen. The surnames I think may be possibilities are ROSS, MACKAY, GRANT, MATHESON, MCLEOD and MCDONALD. My other family is the family of ANGUS MUNRO and CHRISTINA GRAHAM. Angus was born September 1770 in Cromarty and married Christina Graham in 1787. Their first three children William 1788, Hector 1790, Hugh 1793 were all born in Ross & Cromarty . Their next son Donald was born c 1801 Sutherlandshire, but I can find no record of his birth. The next three children Margaret 1802 Dornoch, James 1805 Skibo Dornoch and Christian 1808 Cyderhall Dornoch. Spouse possibles for the above except Donald who married Helen Sutherland in 1826 Dornoch are ROSE, MANN, FRASER and MCKAY. If anyone has a connection with these families or any of the surnames mentioned I would like to hear from them. I know that Sutherland and Munro are very common names but I hope that someone may be able to at least let me know if I am on th right track. Regards, Judy. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
In my line I have a Nelly (Helen) SUTHERLAND married to a Alexander MATHESON 19 Dec 1818 Dornoch This would mean she was 14 if she was yours born in 1804 which seems a tad young but I daresay legal in those days. Her first child that I found was born in a respectable 1825 but there maybe others before that. The children are all baptised in Dornoch Mary 22 Mar 1825 Alexander 25 May 1831 Janet 10 Oct 1835 Helen 16 Oct 1837 David 27 Feb 1838 Don't know if this helps Liz
